Mar 21, 2024 · The Maori killed two of the British immediately.Te Rangihaeata demanded utu (revenge) for the death of his wife Te Rongo. The Maori killed all the remaining captives, including Thompson, Samuel Cottrell, a member of the original survey team; interpreter John Brooks, and Captain Wakefield. Four Māori died and three were wounded in the incident.

Most Māori converted to Christianity (and/ or Catholicism) during colonisation. The rates of Māori who identify as religious now are about the same as New Zealand European (just under half). There are three very small Māori religions (Rātana being the largest), which are mostly still Christian sects / denominations.

Feb 18, 2022 · The only thing Iwould warn you to be careful of is please don't assume that Māori people can all speak Te Reo. Colonial systems have sought to prevent Māori from speaking Te Reo for generations and many of these systems are only now being dismantled, so a large portion of Māori don't speak any Reo at all, and only a very small portion are ...

Jan 6, 2024 · There are a few reasons for this. There is one Māori language with many dialects, the Māori having been the first to arrive in New Zealand around 1200. There are about 250 aboriginal Australian languages, people having first arrived in Australia on the order of 50,000 years ago and having a lot more time to diversify (though depending on count, most fall into one Pama-Nyungan family that ...

Jun 2, 2021 · Of course. Māori people are still human. Not every Māori is a good person. Its probably not different actually, people are just far more open and public about it. Though im not sure if 10, 20, 30 years ago we had people publicly vowing to slaughter as many Māori as they could so maybe it is worse.

Nov 27, 2022 · Most Māori people that I have seen/met often look like very tan Europeans or clearly mixed. Most Māori people I know of are fighters though. Robert Whittaker, Carlos Ulberg, Kai Kara France, Cherneka Johnson, etc.

Jul 10, 2023 · Firstly, Moriori aren't the original inhabitants of New Zealand. They were Māori people who settled on Chatham Islands / Rēkohu. Secondly, Ngāti Mutunga and Ngāti Tama conquered the Moriori after the British had colonised New Zealand. As in, they were here when it happened, and the genocide was done using British ships.

Sep 13, 2023 · Māori culture is ever present as we're growing up and in NZ as a whole and is very normalized and isn't just something we do for diversity points. I went to a primarily white/asian primary (elementary) school and basic Māori language and history was taught. Every school assembly we'd sing Pōkarekare Ana, and probably other songs I forgot ...
